Blågårds Plads is an open-air public square in the Indre Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, laid out by the city between 1912 and 1916 on the site of Anker Heegaard's ironworks. The sunken, paved area of 30 x 50 m is bordered by a low granite wall incorporating 22 sculptures by Kai Nielsen depicting working-class life, designed together with architect Ivar Bentsen. The square is a listed monument and serves in summer as a venue for outdoor events, markets and the annual Blaagaards Festival.
